Harris is seeking a medical underwriting support professional to review complex medical records, summarize clinically significant findings, and flag issues for follow-up. You will produce standardized briefs, ensuring privacy and regulatory compliance while supporting underwriters in risk assessment.
The role requires strong medical knowledge, attention to detail, and timely delivery. A background in nursing, life sciences, or related fields is preferred, with familiarity in underwriting
Review lengthy or complex medical records (APS, lab reports, physician notes, hospital discharge summaries) and identify clinically significant findings relevant to underwriting risk. Produce concise, standardized summaries highlighting diagnoses, chronic conditions, treatment timelines, medications, surgical history, and red-flag findings (e.g., cardiac, oncology, mental health, substance use). Flag missing, unclear, or contradictory medical information that may require follow-up with the applicant, physician, or requester. Apply consistent formatting/templates so underwriters can quickly locate key data points without reading full files. Maintain strict confidentiality and compliance with HIPAA/data privacy and regional health-data regulations. Collaborate with managers, leaders to clarify ambiguous cases. Identify patterns or risk factors (e.g., recurring conditions, family history, lifestyle risks) that may affect premium calculation or policy terms. Meet turnaround time (TAT) targets and quality benchmarks for each case reviewed.
Bachelor's degree in Nursing, Life Sciences, Pharmacy, or a related medical/health field (preferred); insurance/underwriting background is a plus. Strong understanding of medical terminology, disease processes, and common lab/diagnostic reports. Familiarity with life/health insurance underwriting guidelines and risk classification is an advantage.
